Undefined Hair Issues

check your products for silicones. they coat the hair strand and when they come off they take pieces of your hair with it and give it that greasy feel

I know how you feel.  My hair is not what I thought it would be when it got this long.  Its way frizzier than it was when I was younger, and the ends always feel like they could use a trim because the last foot of it feels dry. I know from 2 years ago that having it shorter won't fix the problem, mine'll just be shorter, frizzier hair that I won't enjoy as much. 

I agree with the others though, a good clarifying will do wonders if you've got cone buildup.  And oil does help a lot.

As for your scalp though, that's a little unusual that it would be greasy right after you wash it....you mean like, as soon as its dry its still greasy?  If that's it, are you doing WO or CO?  If you are, and its not working for you, you may just need a good shampooing.  If you mean that your hair gets greasy really fast (but not immediately), like within a half day or a day - you are probably using a shampoo that is too concentrated and cutting back would help with your scalp's over compensation.

ACV doesn't really do enough to clarify...its good if you have hard water,  it rinses those minerals right out, but it doesn't do enough to remove heavy silicone buildup.  Clarifying shampoo is really abrasive (if not abrasive, acidic).  It does make your hair feel strawlike.  That's why its not for too frequent usage.  Once every 2 months would probably be plenty enough.  My hair likes cones too, but I do choose to clarify a little more frequently if I use them, like every 3-4 weeks, or my hair will feel dull, tangly, dry, and I won't be happy with it.  Putting your hair in this weakened state may not be that good for it, its hard to say.  This is the conundrum that leads many people to just avoid cones.  Like you, I also only use the clarifying shampoo from the ears down to avoid it overdrying my scalp.  I use Avalon's Lemon Verbena shampoo as my clarifyer...though I've heard they started adding cones to some of their stuff since I bought my last batch.  The batch I have is good, not too overdrying but does clarify nicely.

Wow you can go 6 days!!!  That's excellent!  I can't go more than 3, and even if I do WO or CO, only 4 before I can't stand the flakiness and greasy feeling of it (my skin gets oily fast).   I would be inclined to say that flakiness after almost 6 days is probably normal.  Skin sloughs off, and if nothing is done to remove it, it will sit there.  It sitting there may well be what is making you itchy.  Maybe since your hair doesn't go greasy so fast, Water Only on the 3rd day would work for you?  It might help remove the dead skin and keep it from getting so itchy.   Using diluted shampoo if you don't already may help your scalp go longer than the 3 days.

The ends getting bad quickly like that does sound like silicone buildup and breakage, unless you've started doing something rough with it in the past few weeks (heat, rough brushing, bad hair toy etc.). 

You can buy jojoba oil online or at a whole foods type store....tends to be cheaper online.  Jojoba does make my (and many other peoples) ends crunchy, you should be prepared that it might do that to you.  I usually mix mine with a "butter" like shea butter or mango butter, and this mix gives me a good non-crunchy leave in I like much better than jojoba alone.

Good luck!

 

The CO wash in between sounds like a good idea to me too.  I know hair adjusts to how often you wash it, but if we were to let Jennifer's hair go for 6 days, she'd be a flaky mess.  She starts to get really greasy by the third day so we usually wash her hair every 2-3 days.  I'd try washing more often.  As for the flakes, do you have anybody to scratch lose the flakes for you before washing?  When Jennifer's hair goes a few days without me scratching lose the dead skin, she gets extremely itchy.  It's just the way her skin is.  It's not a good combination when you want to grow your hair long and don't want to wash as often, but the flakes are there and they have to go or they drive her crazy.  Another thing you might try is a clarifying conditioner instead of a clarifying shampoo.  You could maybe do this followed by a deep conditioning on that third day when you CO.  Let us know what you find.
